Stage Star Shocks Goldblum

TOBY JONES shocked co-star Jeff Goldblum when he split his eye open during
a performance of their hit production THE PLAY WHAT I WROTE - and gushed blood
over the stage.

The star of Kenneth Branagh's Broadway, New York production is required to
hit himself on the head with a baguette, which is simulated by a piece of wood
covered in foam, during the play - but he whacked himself too hard and
seriously cut his
eye.

The bleeding was so bad, a doctor - Dr JERRY PEDEN, a general surgeon from
Philadelphia - was found to treat the stricken star during the curtain call.
